Default Ping weapons to show modz/color/skin
If you can ping a build and click on it to see what it all has...They should maybe make it so people can ping weapons too, so you can see there mods, color, skin etc.... it helps when trying to show people builds to fun with weapons sets etc... Or to see what someone has for fun. Thanks.

You can't see the colour, nor the specific vairent skin or inherent/inscribable. This feature already exists however, as a ping of 'Furious Handaxe of Fortitude and Tower Shield of Valour'.

Oh noes my Tower Shield is default dye?

'Defualt Dye Furious Handaxe +15 while Enchanted of Fortitude'?

Sorry, but I'm already sick of all the little kiddies pinging "I'm wielding an Uber Awesome Sword of Pwnzzz". It would just get worse with this update.

because it's already too hard to understand having the game display it to you in words, you need a picture now?

I don't see why pinging weapons(or pinging in general) isn't limited yet. Like only once per few minutes.

Along being limited to one ping per weapon every 10 seconds. Color should appear in screen.

And crafter and collector weapons should have different colors.
Yellow for crafted items, and dark blue for collector items and quest rewards.

Then the weapon pinging would be proper.

You can already tell what skin it is and most of the mods from a normal ping, and color in this game is irrelavent. Blues, purples, and golds can all be exactly the same, so showing that is nothing more than e-peen flashing.

I guess the OP has WoW in mind... In trade chat, you can click on the item that is offered and it will show a window with that item, with the skin, mods, etc etc. Much like pinging a skill bar.

Would be nice for trade chat, so you wont have to see people spamming: WTS req9 gold blahdiblah bow 15/50 +30 sundering, inscr, but you only have to click the little link to see the item with the mods.

*gasp* did I just say something from WoW would come in handy? On GW guru? Yes, I suppose I did *hides*

That would be helpful, as I often see people selling 'gold staff for Necro', but not actually giving an idea of what the stats are.

Also, it's an easy way to check if a person's lying or not.

Of course, 'special' crafter and quest reward items will remain their current clors when they are green or gold.
